11:11 lucky me
tagged 10 different audiobooks
going to listen to them on my commute to work
feels like cheating
being able to finish books while driving
is good
hard to pick up a physical book with a baby
he’s talking in his sleep again
“ah ba ba bup,” whispered
hot night tonight
🎶i love / hot nights🎶
oh to be cruising in my pastel colored convertible in the 1950s
oh to be walking the streets to different restaurants and bars on a summer night
oh to be sleeping on an air mattress with the windows open and fan going in my boyfriend’s city apartment
oh to be walking across campus alone after getting off the T
i stay up too late all the time
what happened to my tiredness that had been haranguing me all day?
this happens all the time
“night owl” they say
i miss watching conan in bed on school nights
and the fresh prince of bel air on nick at nite
on my giant box tv in the corner of my room
i miss my wooden desk that my legs didn’t quite fit under
where i would do my homework
and listen to my alarm clock radio from the 80s
and tune it to the christmas station in december
cold nights in flannel pajamas then
now i am sweating on top of flannel sheets
brain goes buzz buzz
my stream of consciousness looks different than his
i think in broken thoughts and phrases
these aren’t poetic lines
just my brain jumping to the next thought
the next train
the next traincar
i’m just a hobo riding this train of thought
jimmy crack corn and i don’t care
skip to my lou my darlin
my darling baby
so sleeping
so peaceful
and breathing and lips
i can’t wait for her morning smile
in her little kicking sleep sack
i want to see it every day
i love her
early tomorrow
i wonder if i will see my baby
or if i will have to goodbye in the dark and go
before i get to see that smile
hm
